SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All of the offspring of an organism have the same genetic material, which is identical to the parent organism. From this, we can conclude that this organism-
A
makes its own food
B
is unicellular
C
live in a marine habitat
D
reproduces asexually
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring. Sexual and asexual reproduction have advantages and disadvantages-which is why some organisms do both!

Detailed explanation-4: -clone, also spelled clon, cell or organism that is genetically identical to the original cell or organism from which it is derived. The word clone originates from the ancient Greek klon, meaning “twig.”

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which a single parent produces a new progeny. The new progeny produced are genetically and physically identical to their parents, i.e., they are clones.
